The CEO of Kelsier Ventures, Hayden Davis, claimed in text messages that he had been buying access to Argentine President Javier Milei's inner circle, including Milei's sister, through payments. Davis boasted that he could control Milei, stating that he could make him sign whatever he wanted. It remains unclear if any money was exchanged between Davis and Milei's inner circle before the launch of the Libra token. Davis and Kelsier Ventures were the biggest beneficiaries of the token's launch, earning over $100 million in its early hours before it crashed by over 95%. The incident has led to an anti-corruption probe into Milei and opposition leaders threatening to call for an impeachment trial. The scandal has impacted Argentina's stock market and forced Milei into damage control.
